The students in Year 5 have just received their magical invitations to join Hogwarts in January. We're not sure who sent these, but we'll hopefully have more information to share next year!
Year 2 Christmas Workshop
It was lovely to welcome Year 2 parents into school to share a festive afternoon with their children. Together they created beautiful snowflakes, enjoyed Christmas crafts, listened to festive music and snuggled up reading Christmas stories. Parents also enjoyed taking a moment to relax with tea, coffee and mince pies while sharing this special time. Thank you to all the families who joined us – it was a warm, joyful celebration and a wonderful way to make Christmas memories together.
Christmas Story
The Year 2 and 3 team have been busy getting creative this festive season! With the help of a cheeky elf, staff have written a delightful Christmas story filled with imagination and holiday cheer. We’re excited to share this story with you—please follow the link to enjoy the story.
Reading Cafe
Here at Bloxwich Academy Primary, our term has ended with a fantastic reading celebration: our first VIP Reading Cafe! Children who completed their Starbooks or Bookflix loyalty cards were invited to a truly magical session where they enjoyed a hot chocolate and marshmallows and had the chance to select a book of their choice. They also enjoyed sharing their reading with Mrs Shepherd and Miss Stott. A huge well done to our first attendees! We cannot wait to see who will be next to complete their loyalty cards and receive a special invite to the next VIP Reading Cafe!
Animal Visit
On Monday, all the children from Nursery to Year 6 had a fantastic time visiting some very special animals – pygmy goats and alpacas! The children were full of excitement as they met the friendly animals, watched them up close, and learned more about how they live. There were lots of smiles and laughter, and it was a wonderful experience that everyone will remember.
The Polar Express
In Nursery, we have been on a lovely journey aboard The Polar Express. The children truly got into the spirit of Christmas, using their imaginations and sharing lots of excitement along the way. To make our adventure extra special, we enjoyed a delicious cup of hot chocolate topped with yummy marshmallows. It was a magical experience filled with smiles, festive cheer, and wonderful memories. 🎄☕✨
Memory Jars - Wellbeing Centre
Our Pupil Services centre had the pleasure of making memory jars this week with Mrs Vaughan and Mrs Ward. This therapeutic approach explored reflection and growth, as well as connection and mindfulness. Pupils were able to keep their jars as a keepsake time capsule for them to revisit whenever they need to, all pupils expressed how much they enjoyed and benefitted from the experience.
Good to be Green Day
Primary pupils were rewarded on their termly 'Good To Be Green' day with a choice of wide range of activities across the school. From cooking to DJ club, football to 'Hungry Hippos', crafting to construction and Mario Karts to karaoke, we celebrated the pupils' fantastic behaviour in style!
Reading Cafe
Our second Reading Cafe was a huge success, thank you to all the families that attended it was great to see you!
This event is now too big for our library and the next one will be held in our hall in January!
We shared tips on engaging teenagers in reading and the support we offer as a school.
At Bloxwich Academy we want to ensure that every child can access any text with confidence and resilience - with our main aim being that every pupil becomes successful at reading to learn on any and every topic!
